Welcome to Ella’s garden! My daughter Ella along with husband Scott, and children Poppy and Tommy were recently featured in this month’s Traditional Home Magazine.
While spring is in the air and flowers are in bloom it is hard to stay inside these days. Ella’s garden is the perfect place to entertain, relax, and appreciate all that nature has to give.
A recent addition to the property is a small pool, that I am absolutely in love with. Surrounded by an old stone wall, the pool is enclosed in a little enclave off the garden.
Exquisite pebble work featuring two sea horses accentuates the bottom of the pool and a raised jacuzzi creates a waterfall. They also made a cabana out of a tool room at the end of the pool which adds to symmetry of the space and was designed in keeping with the character of the house.
As summer approaches I am eagerly awaiting long afternoons in the shade while the grandchildren splash in the pool!
The Traditional Home (May 2011) article features some great shots of the property, but I wanted to add a few more of my own to showcase a few extra details.
